Thanks to the Benevolent society,Louise Newman, Peta Murcutt and Natasha Mitchell for both the lecture at the State Library and the repeat on the program on the effect of trauma on the development of children. It is clear that the first three or four years are increasingly recognised as vitally important for the development of the brain. It is not clear that enough is being done to help adolescents who continue to experience trauma.How can such children be helped if the parents do not acknowledge the need for help for the child, and more importantly for themselves?
